<P><FONT size=2>Architectural question.<BR><BR>Inside a looping structure I have a sequence of icons with a Time Limit wait at the top and bottom.<BR>Lets say both are set to 5 seconds.<BR><BR>I need to pause the sequence occasionally.<BR><BR>I have tried setting the T/L to a higher number, which works, but of course setting it back when it is unpaused does not take effect until it has finished counting down the higher number and resumed flow.<BR><BR>So, next thought. Put something immediately below the timer to halt the flow.<BR><BR>I've always considered "repeat while" loops pretty gauche (as the smoke rises from the processor).<BR><BR>If I was doing this in AW, I would probably use dec icons below the timers and switch paths when a pause was needed, putting a "On False to True" conditional to start it flowing again (using the path # as the switch).<BR><BR>Or sod it and use the repeat loop?<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Dave<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR>_________________________________________________________________<BR>The New Busy is not the too busy.
